Low Voltage Power interuptor

I have a security camera in my barn that I would like to have turn off durning certain hours.

Is there any recommendations as to how I could accomplish this? The power and video are ran to the camera from the power supply via cat 5 and is low voltage.

Suggestions?

I was thinking some sort of interupter switch that I could have plugged into a light timer. Would that work? any ideas how to get this interupter?

The easiest solution will be to re-think your requirements so you don't have to do this the way you are asking about. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish? Why does this one camera have to operate only some of the time?

The fact of the matter is that I have to accomplish this... anyone have any ideas other than the ones previously discussed?

THANKS!

No, I don't. Without better information on your hardware and your goals, I have no further input other than to reiterate my previous statement: there will almost certainly be a better, simpler, cheaper, easier way to solve your problem.

1. buy a 12V DC programmable timer, such as this one: http://www.brazix.com/prodfly.asp?It...FYrt7QodMh2vVg
2. determine which conductors in the CAT 5 carry the voltage (google or experiment)
3. build a short adapter cable with the power conductors rerouted through the timer
